The Role
We are looking for a talented Associate Software Engineer to join our team and help build the future of document technology. In this role, you won't just be building UI components; you’ll be working on a sophisticated document SDK used by millions of people daily. This is a "career-defining" opportunity to work with high-performance web technologies (WebAssembly, Web Workers, and TypeScript) under the guidance of veteran engineers. If you are a curious developer who loves digging into the "how" and "why" of web performance and API design, you’ll fit right in.
Responsibilities
- Feature Implementation: Build and maintain high-quality, testable code for our WebViewer UI and showcase applications.
- SDK Support: Help solve technical challenges within our core document engine, focusing on rendering accuracy and programmatic document manipulation.
- Collaborative Development: Work alongside Product Owners, UI/UX designers, and Senior Engineers to turn design specs into functional features.
- Developer Success: Since our customers are fellow developers, you’ll help write clear technical documentation and sample code that makes our SDK easy to use.
- Quality Assurance: Take ownership of your code by writing unit and integration tests using Playwright and Jest.
- Ecosystem Stewardship: Architect and maintain the interface between our proprietary "Core" engine and our open-source WebViewer UI. You will ensure the public codebase is modular, performant, and serves as the "gold standard" for customers building on our platform.
Requirements
- Experience:1–3 years of professional experience in web development (internships count!).
- Modern Web Stack: A strong grasp of JavaScript and TypeScript. You should be comfortable with modern ES6+ syntax and best practices.
- React Proficiency: Solid experience with React, including hooks and functional components. You understand the component lifecycle and how to manage state effectively.
- Testing Fundamentals: A "test-first" mindset. You have experience with (or a strong desire to learn) testing frameworks like Jest, Playwright, or Storybook.
- API Curiosity: Experience consuming RESTful APIs and a basic understanding of how client-server communication works.
- A Builder’s Mindset: A portfolio (GitHub, personal projects, or technical blogs) that shows you like to build things, break them, and fix them.
- Communication: Clear verbal and written communication skills—essential for documenting technical workflows and collaborating with the team.
- Agile & Iterative Mindset: Familiarity with Agile development practices (Scrum/Kanban). You understand how to work in sprints and value iterative software development.
- Operational Discipline: You practice automation and continuous integration (CI) as a standard part of your workflow and value rapid iteration based on direct user feedback.
- Balanced Autonomy: You are a collaborative team player who is equally comfortable working independently to see well-defined tasks through to completion.
Preferred Experience
- Experience with Node.js or other backend environments.
- Exposure to low-level web technologies like Canvas API or Web Workers.
- An interest in document formats like PDF, Office (DocX/XLSX), or CAD.
- Experience with mobile web optimization or building accessible (A11y) interfaces.
- Experience with databases (NoSQL or SQL).
- C++/Java and other languages.
- Experience with mobile applications (Android / iOS).
Benefits:
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience and qualifications.
- A comprehensive extended benefits package including health, dental and vision for you and your family, with company paid offerings.
- A great team environment and resources, supporting you to do the best work of your life and providing unlimited career growth potential.
- Highly autonomous and entrepreneurial environment.
- Annual recurring WFH allowance for you to purchase items you need for your home office.
- Ongoing support for learning development so you can master your craft.
- Work with the hardware you're most comfortable with (Windows or Mac).
- Diverse and inclusive workplace where we all learn from each other.
